There is definitely this for activities, so I’d be surprised if there isn’t for virtual desktops given how much more popular/supported they are

Since they already mentioned WSL, you can also describe distrobox like WSL for Linux.

but yeah, agree this would be the simplest.

Ha! Good to know

While I too like the analogy, and agree that Windows is becoming increasingly money grabby, I feel the need to be fair: as an OS it has supported native ISO mounting since Win7, just right click an ISO file and choose “Mount”…

It was fundamentally broken in 64-bit Windows for a long time due to a practically unfindable bug, so they just removed it once that was a mainstream option (Vista onwards).

I think it’s been fixed or recreated now though?

Full Tilt! was first published in 1995, comfortably before the inclusion of the Space Cadet table in Windows, which iirc was either '98 or Plus! for '95. I’m confident it wasn’t in any of the vanilla releases of Win 95.

An absolute classic of the C64 for me. That version really does shine, though the Master System also looks great!

I feel the Amiga (can you tell we were a Commodore family?) looks put to shame by the Mega Drive a little, for the 16bit ones, but it’s interesting to hear your thoughts on it being more like a reimagining.

Thanks so much for doing these write ups, they’re really fascinating and in depth.

That said, when doing so use stickers that can be removed easily.

Nothing worse than paper price stickers that rip apart or leave a sticky residue.

Bonus if they’re on a card box like pre-GameCube Nintendo, or 90s big box computer games, where they actually damage the underlying game box >.<
